Genders & Partners was established in 1848 and is now the oldest law firm in Adelaide, and one of its most respected. It has undergone several name changes throughout its history. Before Dr John Jefferson Bray became Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of South Australia, he was a partner with this firm, which was then known as Genders Wilson & Bray. At other times it has been known as Genders Wilson & Pellew, Genders Wilson & Abbott, or Genders Wilson & Partners.

For over 40 years this firm has been at the forefront of personal injury law in South Australia. In a landmark 1994/95 national survey, they were voted as the leading plaintiff practice in Adelaide for personal injury claims and they have retained this impressive distinction ever since.
